EXIT: The House of Riddles takes the escape room into your living room. You work together through a series of puzzles in a mysterious house, using clues, codes and a fair amount of lateral thinking to find the way out. In the series, this entry is rated at the beginner level, which makes it a friendly place to start if you have never tried an EXIT box. One to four of you can play, and a run takes around an hour and a half. It is designed to be solved once, so treat the contents as part of the puzzle, and expect a few ahas and a few groans.

Who it's for

You want to try an escape-room box for the first time, or you want an easy EXIT to share with friends who like puzzles.

Not for you if…

You want to replay games or keep the box intact. The components get used up, and solving it happens once.

Vibe's take

Buzzy and collaborative. Someone has an idea, someone else sees why it is wrong, and then a clue clicks and everybody leans over the same card.
